The new war in Libya? It's just the old one, dirty, French colonialism
Source: linkiesta
The new one, yet another crisis in Libya, with the government of Fayez al-Sarraj on the brink of the abyss due to the attack by rebel militias, It has a very complicated outline, which includes historical rivalries between tribes, the role of Gaddafi's former hierarchs, the sharing of oil revenues, the interference of a long series of countries ranging from the USA to Great Britain, from France to Italy, from Russia to Egypt, from Türkiye to Qatar.
But the substance, at least in the reality of recent years, it's much much simpler: there is a very weak and almost impotent Government, the one led by Al-Sarraj, which acts under the auspices of the United Nations and is recognized by the international community; and there is a country, the France, who works for that Government to fall, even at the cost of plunging Libya back into total chaos.
Emmanuel Macron did his part when, last July, he called a unilateral summit to bring together Al-Sarraj and his sworn enemy, the former Gaddafi and former CIA general Khalifa Haftar, with the obvious result of delegitimizing the first and legitimizing the second. And he's still doing it, given that the moralizing militias (they say the Government is corrupt, think about that pulpit) they went on the offensive between our Prime Minister Conte's trip to Washington, where Donald Trump had gone so far as to propose an Italian-American "control room" for Libya, and the conference on Libya organized in Rome for 10 November. His plan is clear: eliminate Al-Sarraj and go to those elections in December that no one except him wanted and which would end up crowning a vassal of Paris.

Where did the billions of dollars of aid to Africa go??
Huge loans from international financial organizations, significant relief from state debt, funds raised by private initiatives, who mobilized everyone, from individual Western citizens through organized forms of charity to show business stars, who worked for the rights of the weakest through concerts and performances.
Rivers of billions of dollars that do not seem to have made any dent in the problem of underdevelopment and endemic poverty in the Third World. On the contrary. It was found that, since the mid-1990s, circa 60 developing countries have become poorer in terms of per capita income than 15 years before. By 2030 two-thirds of the world's poor will come from Africa.
Africa is therefore increasingly poor, but of a new poverty compared to that of the colonial past. In fact, the African continent includes the countries with the highest levels of inequality in the world, in which the gap between a small elite dedicated to luxury and the rest of the population living in a state of poverty is abysmal.
So, what didn't work? Where have the rivers of billions of dollars gone? Read More
